Upcycled Sari Infinity Scarf

Brighten your outfit with an upcycled infinity sari scarf. All of the scarves from this collection are custom-made and unique, made from the fabric of two carefully chosen complementary saris, one for each side of the infinity scarf. Bright colours, bold prints, and unique pairings reflect the varied fabrics, and ensure that no one else has a scarf exactly like yours!

Each beautiful scarf combines straight even rows of hand stitching known as kantha, traditional to Northwestern India and Bangladesh.

The word 'kantha' means 'patched cloth' and women from this region have made functional shawls like this for centuries. These stunning kantha products are made with repurposed saris, carefully hand-sewn with neat rows of contrasting thread to form a beautiful finished looping scarf. Each item is made from 100% reclaimed cotton sari cloth, and has the hand-stitched name of its maker sewn into the cloth.
